FDA Warns Consumers Not to Eat Certain Jars of Peter Pan Peanut Butter and Great Value Peanut Butter

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ^ | February 14, 2007 | Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

I just ate some peanut butter yesterday (opened a brand new jar). Looked at the brand in the cupboard...Peter Pan with the 2111!

I'm also 6.5 weeks pregnant--haven't been sick from either the peanut butter or the baby :)

I accused my wife of being a traitor the first time I had Skippy with sugar and then I found out they don't make it without sugar anymore.

I read the other thread earlier after I had read the article in the Tennessean and got so hungry for peanut butter that I emptied the Skippy jar and wrote it on the grocery list.

Followed that up with a fig bar.

[Bahbah]

Thanks, dina. I hadn't seen this. I will send it out to my family by email.

[Old Professer]

Make a batch of cookies with it, the heat from baking ought to kill it.

[Old Professer]

You'll know soon.

[Old Professer]

They're supposed to peel them?

I just checked the jar my hubby opened this morning.

GV with the dreaded numbers!

He's not home and I can't get ahold of him and I'm wondering how long it takes for illness to manifest itself?

[Chena]

Thank you, dinasour! I'm going to pass this on to family and friends.

BTTT

I apologise for the Ping List abuse

No abuse at all! I had to throw out a jar this morning myself. We had consumed about 1/4 of the jar with no ill effects....thank goodness!

My “Great Value” jar’s label reads:

Ingredients: Roasted Peanuts, Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils {Cottonseed and Rapeseed}, Salt.

ALLERGY WARNING: CONTAINS PEANUTS.

Could any of the other ingredients be a cause for the illness, perhaps?

[Old Professer]

I told you a Tennessee toad jumped in the vat.

EVERYONE I have talked to today (over 2 dozen people) that had either brand had those numbers as well...but we're all in the Southeast - so I guess that makes sense if that is the location code for that particular plant.

[Old Professer]

No, but the transfatty acids might kill you in the end.

[Lucky9teen]

Wow...it's a good thing I got Kroger brand, my kids eat it every day.

[Lucky9teen]

It's a pity that there's not an affordable home testing kit for salmonella, so that food wouldn't be wasted.

There is...$19.95

[Graybeard58]

Take it back where you got it and tell them you want your money back. I did.

[esquirette]

Look for the class action sharks on TV next week.

Passing this along...some may want to surf it!

[Sherri-D]

[Eaker]

Let's hurry up and finish it!
